Greek Accreditation

Overview

The Greek Accreditation program at San Diego State University was implemented at the beginning of Fall 2012. Since then, the program has evolved to better assist chapters, councils and the entire Greek community in an effort to uphold standards and enact the values of Fraternity & Sorority Life at SDSU.

We believe the experiences members will have participating in Greek Accreditation will develop a variety of different skills and broaden their knowledge - ultimately giving them a more well-rounded Greek experience while at SDSU!

During summer 2015, the program was reviewed and revised to include additional categories, streamline the organization of the program and improve the process for documentation. Additional updates have occurred each summer since.

Greek Accreditation focuses on eight key areas of Fraternity & Sorority Life, which we espouse as our Greek community's values! Efforts and experiences are all directly aligned with the following areas:

Academic Achievement

Community Wellness

Alumni & Family Relations

Diversity Education & Inclusion

Chapter Management

Leadership Education & Development

Community Relations

Philanthropy & Service

Highlights & Trends

All chapters are expected to participate in Greek Accreditation which is evaluated at the end of each fall and spring semester.

Chapter Accreditation Chairs

Greek Life recommends designating at least 2 individual chapter members to be in charge of Greek Accreditation.

It is highly recommended that chapter accreditation chairs learn about the program, documentation, best practices, and more by attending an Information Session! Details are at left on this webpage.

NOTE: Attendance to at least 1 Information Session is required if the chapter received "Not Accredited" on their accreditation evaluation report from previous semester.

Efforts & Experiences

All chapters in the Greek community participate in Greek Accreditation to varying degrees! Chapters are expected to meet "Accredited" status, however, some chapters may be in "Achieving" or even "Excelling"!

Documentation

Each effort and experience has proper documentation that must be submitted or compiled in order for the chapter to earn credit. Documentation corresponding to each effort and experience will be outlined in the Greek Accreditation Overview. Additionally, the following are templates that are required to be utilized for proper documentation, as applicable.

Modified Spring 2020 Greek Accreditation Expectations

We recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic has limited the opportunities for programming and event participation for our chapters. To this end and in light of the changes to the fraternity and sorority experience at San Diego State University, the Fraternity & Sorority Life Advisory Team has made modifications to the existing Greek Accreditation pacekt expectations for the Spring 2020 semester. We believe that the Greek Accreditation packet provides the Fraternity & Sorority Life Advisory Team additional insight of how each chapter is providing support to their respective members and provides us the opportunity to continue to share the positive impact that affiliation with a social fraternity and sorroity can provide to an individual. Modified Spring 2020 Greek Accreditation Requirements PacketAccrediation Resources

Expanded during the Spring 2020 semester, this template now includes every Greek Accreditation value expectation so that chapters are able to make a copy of the template and fill in accordingly. Note: The chapter must place their copy of the template in their chapter's Greek Accreditation Google Folder.

Virtual Office Hours

As requested by the chapters, the Fraternity & Sorority Life Advisory Team will schedule and facilitate at least 2-3 virtual office hour sessions to specifically cater to chapter's Greek Accreditation needs and provide feedback on teh packet that they are creating.
